SarahStrat's video: What is metacognition and how can it help you stop anxious thoughts

Ever had thoughts on a loop that seem out of your control? Struggled with fears or anxious thoughts popping into your head that send your mind spiralling? In this episode I break down how you can think about what you're thinking about - and no, it's not as confusing as it sounds! It's called metacognition. The literal act of thinking about your thoughts.  I give a few examples of how you can do this, and we briefly talk about how you can use this as a tool to stop obsessive thought patterns and become more self-aware, which will lead to a more positive life as you have healthier thought patterns.  To read more about metacognition visit: https://wealthyoptimist.medium.com/its-not-the-thoughts-that-hurt-you-but-thinking-that-you-can-t-control-them-b58889c9c4ee   ➕ Get your *FREE* copy of my newest book, 'Positive Power - 12 Steps to Mastering Your Mindset' here: www.wealthyoptimist.com ➕ Get your special limited edition hardcover copy of 'Positive Power - 12 Steps to Mastering Your Mindset' here: www.positivepowerbook.com ➕ Please SUBSCRIBE & turn notifications *ON* so you can see my newest videos. ❤️ ➕ Don't forget to LIKE this video & COMMENT below so I can get to know you!
